Ruth's Chris Steak House - Boise: Premier Steak Dining with Elegant Ambiance

Founded in 1965 by Ruth Fertel in New Orleans. A single mother who mortgaged her home for $22,000 to purchase Chris steakhouse despite having no restaurant experience. She renamed it Ruth's Chris Steakhouse after a 1976 fire forced relocation. The original name could not be used at a new location due to the purchase agreement. One of downtown Boise's best restaurants. And one of the better steakhouses in Idaho. If you like steak, Ruth Chris's is one of the must visit restaurants in Boise. If you would like a nice romantic dinner I recommend the porterhouse for 2. Steaks are cooked using a patented 1800 degree Fahrenheit broiler developed by Fertel. And served on a 500 degree plate with a pat of butter for enhanced flavor and sizzle. Sourced from nationally recognized suppliers with strict quality standards. The porterhouse for two is a 40 oz bone-in USDA prime cut combining a tender filet on one side and a flavorful New York strip on the other. They also have a large selection of wine and champagne. The Boise location is decorated with very clean white and elegant wood decor and ambient lighting. Making for a very romantic atmosphere with modern glass artwork backdrops throughout the restaurant.

They had our table set for our anniversary! It was so cute. The food was absolutely delicious. The steak was cooked perfectly. Our server, Sean was very attentive and excellent at his job!!! .We would definitely come back anytime.

This restaurant is consistently good and one of my favorite restaurants for a reason. Husband took me for my birthday and they had our table already decorated to make me feel extra special. I can’t recommend the food enough. Get the steaks, mashed potatoes and lobster Mac and cheese

Incredible service and food here. Went for our 1 year anniversary and they treated us like royalty! Multiple staff wished us happy anniversary and the food and service was amazing. This was my first time here but certainly not my last. Matthew and Liam were great.

Great food and service as always. They also recently changed their brand of coffee and it tastes GREAT. We were there for my wife's birthday. We had the filet, mashed sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts and mushrooms. For desert we had the chocholate Sin Cake. Yum!

Came here to celebrate my birthday and the staff made me feel so special! I had never been here before and I am so glad I came, I was not disappointed whatsoever. Between the awesome service, the amazingly delicious food (seriously one of the BEST steaks I’ve had!!) our server and the atmosphere, it was a great place to go for my birthday dinner. We got the petite filet with jumbo shrimp, and the roasted Brussel sprouts, lobster Mac and cheese and the fingerling potatoes!Ricardo also sent home two deserts for us to have later and those were phenomenal also! I highly recommend this place!

Ruth's Chris was phenomenal. We made special reservations for our 30th wedding anniversary and they did not disappoint. Our 2 servers treated us like royalty. So polite, professional, on point and natural. Our table was set so beautifully with rose pedals and a sweet anniversary card. Our meal and dessert was off the charts delicious. Thank you for a memorable evening. I am very sorry I don't remember the names of the duo we had just know you have some great employees.

Everything was amazing! Top Notch Bartender! We were at a catered type of event so we didn't experience service personally from a server as everything was placed at our tables and they left.
